My name is Jennifer Ruppert.  I have been married to my husband, Bryan, for 19 years.  I have an 18 year old son, Gage, who graduated from Murrieta Valley High School last June.  I also have a 15 year old daughter, Jordyn, (soon to be 16 in January...eek) who is a sophomore at Murrieta Valley.

I started teaching back in 1997 in Ontario, California.  I taught Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd for six years.  I was lucky enough to get to stay home with my children for the next several years.  During that time, I substitute taught and was active in the PTA.  We moved from Rancho Cucamonga to Murrieta 8 years ago.  I started substitute teaching right away.  I did long-term substitute teaching at Warms Springs for 3 years.  Finally, this is my third year teaching 2nd Grade, here at Buchanan Elementary. 

I believe in providing a safe and caring environment for all children to grow, learn and thrive in.
